Before March Madness officially begins, college basketball fans can enjoy a little bit of “Arch Madness.”
An automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament will be up for grabs when a dozen teams arrive in St. Louis for the 2024 Missouri Valley Conference basketball tournament. Indiana State earned the MVC’s No. 1 seed in the regular season behind stellar play from Robbie Avila, who has been called “College Jokic” because of his Nikola Jokic-like offensive package.
Drake will be Indiana State’s top challenger after finishing just one game behind the Sycamores in the MVC standings. Other contenders include Bradley, Belmont and Northern Iowa.
Here is everything you need to know about the Missouri Valley Conference basketball tournament, including TV and streaming options for each game.
